When solving an equation with two variables, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)
Solve 8a - 9a = -3a - 8x - 8 for a in terms of x.
| -\(\frac{4}{9}\)x + \(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{11}\)x - \(\frac{8}{11}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{5}\)x + \(\frac{1}{10}\) | |
| x - 8 |
